Nohan Kenneh (born 10 January 2003) is a Liberian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Hibernian, and the Liberia national team.[3] He is a former England youth international.
Kenneh was born in Liberia,[1] moving to the United Kingdom as a refugee at the age of six.[4]
After playing in the youth teams of Bradford City and York City,[4] Kenneh spent eight years with Leeds United, and was an unused first-team substitute on a number of occasions.[5] He received a yellow card for his celebrations as an unused substitute in a Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[4]
Kenneh signed for Scottish club Hibernian in May 2022 on a three-year contract, with effect from 1 July.[1][6][7] On 9 July 2022, he debuted for Hibernian during a 5–0 win over Clyde.[8] On 13 August 2022, he scored his first professional goal in Hibernian's 2–1 loss away at Livingston in the Scottish Premiership.[9]
Kenneh was loaned to Ross County in January 2023,[10] and to English club Shrewsbury Town in July 2023.[11]
Kenneh represented England at under-16 and under-17 youth international levels.[6] He was called-up by his native country Liberia in March 2023,[12] and made his first full international appearance in a 2–2 draw with South Africa on 24 March.[13]
Kenneh prefers to play as a holding midfielder, but he can also play as a central defender.[4]
